Isolation of Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp. from free-ranging wild animals

Abstract: Increasing interactions between humans, domestic animals and wildlife may result in inter-species transmission of infectious agents. To evaluate the presence of pathogenic E. coli and Salmonella spp. and to test the antimicrobial susceptibility of isolates, rectal swabs from 36 different free-ranging wild mammals were taken from two distinct natural sites in Brazil: Cantareira State Park (CSP, state of São Paulo) and Santa Isabel do Rio Negro Region (SIRNR, state of Amazonas). The swabs were randomly collected… Show more

“…The exchange of bacteria between humans and human-habituated animals, particularly non-human primates, is of interest in light of the fragmentation of natural habitats globally (1828). We have seen that wild non-human primates in the Gambia are frequently exposed to humans through tourism, deforestation and urbanisation.…”
